| | First and foremost, a Pentium 4 is not a good processor. It's over 6 years old. You would have a much better time running Vista with a Core 2 Duo or the equivalent.
The i7 and Phenom II motherboards are NOT the only motherboards that support DDR3. There are plenty of 775 and AMD2+ motherboards that support DDR3, like the nVidia 790i.
There is hardly a difference between DDR2-667 and DDR2-800. In reality, unless you are overclocking DDR2-667 is all you will ever need. I would go into much greater detail, but it appears the people here just have no clue what they are talking about.

Usb 3.0 Coming Soon
Specs in 2008 & Release in 2010 (6) QUOTE The "SuperSpeed" USB Promotions Group was announced Tuesday at the Intel Developer Forum.
The promotions group will get together with contributors over the next year to finalize a USB 3.0
spec that will, they hope, take care of our wired peripheral and syncing needs for another five
years or more. USB 3.0 is built upon, and is backwards-compatible with, the USB 2.0 "High Speed"
spec. It would be generous to even call the specifications "early" at this stage, but the group
still had lots of information about how USB 3.0 will work and what features it will provi....
Windows Coa Labels - Now Torn For Your Security!
(12) It's not really NEW news, but I only found out about it today! I found it pretty strange, but
that's Microsoft for you! QUOTE Microsoft redesigned the COA label as a running change from
Aug/2006 as a part of piracy prevention. The new COA label has a transparent Port-Hole (as
circled in red) which prevents a removed COA label from being reaffixed. The Port-Hole area of COA
is not affixed to the body of the computer and may lift slightly and get chafed during
transportation. As a result there is a possibility that some customers may raise inquiries becau....
Microsoft Silverlight Technology
A new addition to the Windows Live family (3) Microsoft has released a new development platform (I think it is) called Microsoft SilverLight. It
is supposed to bring rich, interactive, streaming media into a cross-browser, cross-platform
environment. (Personally, I think they are ignoring Opera). The development team is working hard to
get this running on Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. They are adding support for "major,
leading browsers" quickly and efficiently when possible. Macintosh users (for Mac OS X) can also
download this application which is under 2MB in size. You can download SilverLight 1.0 Beta ....

Linux Needs Windows To Run!
Dugg it up on Digg (12) This is just absolutely L-O-L comedy right here. This is the classic ignorance and computing. Ok, to
sum up this loser, he thinks that Linux runs on Windows and so does Mac OS X and OS/2 failed because
of Microsoft. Here's one of my favorite paragraphs in one of the earlier posts of this guy:

the windows interface is cleverly hidden away. It still needs the drivers and software services in

Windows Vista Too Strict?
(9) I don't know if this is a fact or just a rumor but it's quite interesting. I was in a web
design class today when I overheard about the restrictions and cons about Vista. I know it
didn't come out yet so that's why I am not sure if this is correct. One of the guys said
that Microsoft is making Vista more strict than the previous versions. He said that if one was to
practice copyright infridgement for music or videos and whatnot then the information would then be
sent to microsoft and to the authorities and let them do what they have to do. The other guy s....

Pen Drive Ram On Windows Vista
Features on Windows Vista (13) I recently viewed the homepage of Windows Vista on Microsoft's site. It says that Windows
Vista can use a pen drive (USB 2.0) as additional RAM to speed up the memory. My question
is that we use RAM because the hard disk is SLOW. We do have a swap file, but we don't use it
much because it slows down performance! So, how can it be that the USB Pen drive be as fast as the
RAM? Its max. speed is just 153.3kbps So won't that be slow too? How can that act as additional
RAM? Is Microsoft trying to fool innocent buyers? This is outrageous! -O....

doesn't add features to products which is in the "Extended Support" period unless it is really
necessary so the Update Rollup is just alot of security patches bundled together, with some new ones
for low to medium security breaches for Windows 2000 before it moves into Extended Support. Lots of
people expected it to be a service pack, going to be known as SP5 but Microsoft anno....
